Water was shut off twice during the AM and the card reader did not work so we had to wait for the security to open the door. Not the worst experience but a partial refund would have been nice.

Poor maintenance

The key card machine was broken so we couldn't get a key. The heater didn't work. The flooring was buckled and coming up. It was not very clean. One of the lights was flickering on even though it was switched off.
